TDS wants to broadcast

TDS wants to broadcast to 224.0.0.22. What in the world is this for? It just started this today

 

Hi Eliot,
what were you doing when this happened?

whois, resolve, update, ping, trace, smtp, broadcast, backdoorknock, interrogate?
Was it TDS asking your firewall permission for outbound connection or was it blocking an intrusion?

 

It was right after a reboot and Sygate said it wanted to "broadcast". I assume that means out as it says different when its incoming.

 

have you set TDS up to do some filescanning (checking) for instance any network-shares?

Negative on the network. I will remove internet access for TDS and see if I can reproduce the problem. If so, I shall copy the entire thing down and paste here ASAP.

 

224.0.0.22 isn't an Internet IP-address so there is nothing to worry. But still want to know where TDS is searching for.

Thanks alot folks. I am assuming that this is ok to allow TDS to connect to it.

 

You can allow TDS to do ANYTHING

Hi Eliot

Are you sure it was TDS wanting to do this broadcast?
Have a look at this post and check your logs to see if it may be related or similar to what you are seeing.

It was TDS. I looked and it was the executable of the program.
